<br>
Dear UCR Community, <br>
<br>
I have spent the last few months thinking about what it means to be a part of the UC Riverside community. The campus is physically closed, but much of the university’s work has continued remotely —activities such as teaching and research advances outside of
the physical buildings that have been our intellectual homes. UCR has become something I carry with me wherever I go, wherever any of us go, just as we become part of the changing meaning of UCR. <br>
<br>
In a few weeks, UCR will grow and change again. We will be joined by roughly 4,800 first time freshmen and 1,800 transfer students. They join us during a time where words seem inadequate to the immense challenges we face. The local, state, and national economic
future seems bleak. The pandemic has not been resolved and the health of our families and our neighbors are at risk. We are also confronting systemic racism and ongoing violence against Black and other minoritized people.<br>
<br>
In such precarity, we often attempt to simplify what is complex. We too often seek solace in a false understanding that ignores or glosses the deep and fractious variability of the very real world in which we live and move. I think some of what it means to
be a part of UC Riverside is to resist that temptation. That we, at our best, bravely face a world we cannot understand alone. That part of what you bring and part of what I bring is a way of understanding and being that is different from each other. That
we work together, united by a mission to help each other grow in that understanding.<br>
<br>
I hope in the stories and updates below; you see a small part of how Undergraduate Education contributes to the changing meaning of UCR. The class of 2024 joins us at a critical moment in our country, and their success is paramount to its future. The physical
and experiential distances can make us stronger when we understand UCR and the incoming class of 2024 can learn from each other. We have to be open to other points of view. UE looks forward to working with our campus partners. We are lucky to be a part of
this journey that will shape history.<br>

amidst these challenging times. With campus closed, Summer Sessions is continuing to partner instructors with XCITE to support and improve online instruction.<br>
<br>
Working closely with faculty and department chairs, we’re pleased that all but three courses initially planned in November are still being offered. This achievement is the result of the hard work of our faculty and the XCITE team and shows our shared commitment
to supporting students in their education. We know that the conversion to online for Summer was incredibly difficult. Many thanks to everyone involved.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#202020">The <a href="https://arc.ucr.edu/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#007C89">Academic Resource Center (ARC)</span></a> has long helped support students in achieving their academic goals.
This work continues during this unprecedented time as we provide academic support, mentorship, and leadership development for UCR students.<br>
<br>
Fortunately, we're building on the hard work and success of the Academic Partnership Programs offered during the spring quarter. The Early Assist program’s one-on-one peer mentoring worked through Zoom to assist STEM students who placed into ARC 35, UCR’s pre-college
math course. Through this partnership, students finished their math and core STEM courses with tremendous success. Peer educators worked hard to build an inclusive remote environment sensitive to the home and family needs of UCR students.<br>
<br>
Additionally, Academic Mentoring Programs continued to offer Tutoring, R’Success Workshops, Supplemental Instruction (SI), and Peer Mentorship remotely during Spring. Using iLearn, Zoom, and YouTube, SI’s innovative use of social media allowed the program to
expand its reach and impact. The ARC’s Tutorial Assistance Program is certified by the College Reading and Learning Association, and tutors worked remotely to maintain their certifications. Their commitment to the educational mission of the university is inspiring.
They’ve worked hard to build an inclusive community from their homes. Lastly, the R’Success Workshop series saw an increase in participation over the spring, with sessions on time management and managing stress especially popular.<br>
<br>
For incoming students, the math placement exam transition to an online test has been helpful during COVID-19. In the past, most students had to take a single, in-person high-stakes exam (the MAE) prior to orientation to determine their math placement. Because
of limited offerings around the state, many students took it prior to orientation, long after their academic terms had finished. Now, with leadership from the Math department and academic senate approval, the math placement exam is based on the ALEKS PPL test.
Students take an initial diagnostic exam, then brush up on weak subject areas using adaptive learning technology, and then have several attempts to reassess before taking a final, proctored placement. More details about the analysis and impact of this change
are available at the <a href="https://senate.ucr.edu/about/issues/2018-2019/18-19.%20CR.%20From%20Mathematics%20To%20Adopt%20ALEKS%20PPL%20for%20Mathematics%20Placement%20and%20Re-testing%20Platform.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color:#007C89">senate topics
page.</span></a><br>
<br>
The hard work and student centered approach of the ARC professional and student staff continues through the campus closure. Working together, we continue to help students achieve their academic goals. We'd love to have you visit arc.ucr.edu to learn more about
how we can work together.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#202020">The 2020 Undergraduate Research Symposium, originally scheduled for late April, had a record 294 students scheduled to present. When the global pandemic struck, Student Engagement successfully
transitioned from the traditional two-day, in-person event to a two-week virtual event with accompanying concurrent sessions. The platform, GoReact, was adapted to allow 161 students to record and upload their presentations. Over 100 faculty reviewers provided
timestamped comments and feedback to the student presenters, and over 667 family and community members viewed student presentations. Reviews of this platform were strongly positive. Most were impressed with Student Engagement’s propensity to respond quickly
to the situation to afford students this valuable experience.<br>
<br>
Alongside the conference was a series of 11 Concurrent Sessions, including getting started in research as first-generation students, securing DAAD and NSF research scholarships, and leveraging research for career and graduate school applications, among many
others.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
What is ScottyBot? ScottyBot is a chatbot, which uses a knowledge base to answer your questions (English, Spanish, & Chinese) and guide you to campus resources 24/7/365. ScottyBot provides an easy way for students to have UCR-related questions answered, and
is accessible via the web and by text. The chatbot will answer commonly-asked questions to popular offices, such as our Registrar, Housing, Student Engagement, ARC, Financial Aid, Student Business Services, Residential Life, and Summer Sessions offices.<br>
<br>
ScottyBot knows a lot about UCR, but he is new and still learning. If ScottyBot doesn't know your answer, a real human will read your question and get you an answer. The more you use ScottyBot, the better he becomes at answering questions for everyone at UCR!
If you have any questions about ScottyBot, please email us at <a href="https://ue.ucr.edu/scottbot@ucr.edu"><span style="color:#007C89">scottbot@ucr.edu</span></a>.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
